background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the long and short ten postoperative results after the notaras procedure as a surgical treatment of rectal prolapse in adults. methods: thirty-one patients suffering from rectal prolapse who were operated with notaras posterior mesh rectopexy in shohada-e-tajrish hospital between 1991- 2000 were followed up for results and complications and the r...

The main objective of this research is to investigate experimentally the viability and effectiveness proposed ferrocement permanent forms effect test parameters on behavior reinforced concrete beams. And using lightweight materials for core with aim producing light weight structural system. experimental program comprised casting testing eleven beams dimensions 200x100x2000mm.These are organized...

Abstract Background Whilst the use of laparoscopy in repair large hiatus hernia (LHH) has become mainstream, prevention post operative recurrence and other adverse events remained a challenge. Mesh reinforcement suture cruroplasty been considered as potential solution. However paucity well constructed powered randomised control trials (RCT) with long term followup makes an assessment its real i...

Rapid prototyping has received considerable interest with the introduction of affordable rapid prototyping machines. These machines can be used to manufacture physical models from three-dimensional digital mesh models. In this paper, we compare the results obtained with a new, affordable, rapid prototyping machine, and a traditional professional machine. Two separate data sets are used for this...

A practical hierarchical component-based WebGIS model referred to as Geo-Union is presented. Geo-Union consists of four layers: storage layer, service layer, component layer and application layer. Service layer is partitioned into another two layers: Geo-Union client and Geo-Union server. The architectures and object diagram of each layer in Geo-Union are discussed in details. After that, four ...

An argumentation map is an online discussion forum for spatially related topics that combines the forum with an interactive map. The utility of an argumentation mapping tool highly depends on the accuracy and quantity of the geo-tags that link the discussion contributions to geographic locations. These geo-tags can be created manually by the users of the argumentation map or automatically by a ...

BACKGROUND Shoulder function often is limited after tumor resection and endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus. This is partly attributable to the inability to reliably reattach rotator cuff tendons to the prosthesis and achieve adequate shoulder capsule repair with a metallic prosthesis. An option to attain these goals is to use synthetic mesh for the reconstruction, although the v...

Abstract This paper is an experimental study of the quasi-static mechanical compressive properties reinforced closed-cell aluminum alloy foams with different cell orientations at strain rates. The foam samples were obtained via powder metallurgical route. results compression tests revealed that deformation behavior and foamed composites are highly dependent on orientation reinforcing mesh. Diff...

Statement of problem: Many processes have been applied to improve the fracture resistance acrylic resin dentures by reinforcing them. The maximum goal any denture repair is restore main strength and avoid further fracture. Purpose: This study investigated ability self-curing be deflection repaired joints reinforced with various reinforcement materials resist Material methods: Transverse polymet...

BACKGROUND A decade ago we reported that laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal hernia (PEH) had an objective recurrence rate of 42% compared with 15% after open repair. Since that report we have modified our laparoscopic technique. The aim of this study was to determine if these modifications have reduced the rate of objective hernia recurrence. STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively identified all ...
